Arrest over theft of ancient artifacts in Sussex

posted 20 Jan 2010 05:50 by Worthing Archaeological Society

From the BBC News web site http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/sussex/8468924.stm:

A man has been arrested for the alleged theft of archaeological items from a site in Sussex.

Sussex Police seized items including medieval and roman coins, ivory and an 'anpulla', which pilgrims collected as souvenirs from their religious travels.

A 51-year-old man is being questioned about "nighthawking"; the taking of ancient monuments by unlawful searches.

Kent Police, who specialise in investigating heritage crime, are assisting the investigation.

Nighthawking often involves using metal detectors and the act is usually carried out at night.

The items are suspected to have been taken from the Chichester area, although the location of the site is being withheld.
